G.N. Venkatasiva Subramaniam

"Aromatics industry caters largely to industrial users such as soaps, detergents, cosmetics, toiletries, agarbattis, personal perfumes and the like. We see growth coming from the rural places, because of increased exposure to media. So, the name of the game is distribution, so that the product reaches the end users. Where do we see development happening in the industry? Both in the art and science of aromatics, we are seeing development. The 'art' is in the blending part, where the imagination of ther perfumer comes into play, to add newer ingredients and twists to the formulations to achieve unique fragrances. And the 'science' comes from the development of newer ingredients, by working at the molecular level."
